I know that it seems impossible, but sometimes it happens, that we forget the proper way to receive Holy Communion. When the priest says: “The Body of Christ”, we immediately respond: “Amen” and then, if receiving in the hand, we place Our Lord immediately into our mouth. We do not turn and walk away, we do not step to the side, we do not bless yourself with the Blessed Sacrament and we do not raise it into the air. Rather, you immediately place the Blessed Sacrament into your mouth.
This Tuesday, September 10th, at 10am, we will be opening the 2020 Mass Book. We have many people who come to have a Mass intention offered for a living or deceased loved one or friend. This is a wonderful way of remembering that person. A Mass intention should normally be offered for a single intention (one or at the most two names). This single intention can be for a person or a particular family. This means that the following examples will be the only acceptable way for the Mass intentions to be listed in the bulletin:
Mr. and Mrs. John Jones
John and Mary Jones
The Jones Family
Mary Jones and Thomas Smith
The Jones and Smith Family
Mary Jones and Thomas Smith could be brother and sister or good friends. Therefore, the bottom line is that no more than two names will be able to be listed in the weekly bulletin. If there are more than two names (with the same last name) they can be listed under a family name as found in the example above. If two names are given, and a middle name is wanted, we will only list the middle initial. We remind you that the intention for the Mass can be for the living or the deceased. Also, we remind you that if anyone sends in a list of names before September 10th those intentions will not be put in the book till the end of that day
